A deputy signaled a Jeep that had its tag and tail lights out to pull over. When the jeep stopped, it ran over the curb and up on the sidewalk, according to an arrest affidavit from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.

The driver, Valerie Nottingham, told the deputy she used to have a driver's license "a long time ago, but it's not good anymore," according to the report. A passenger in the back seat and the owner of the Jeep, April L. Canfield, 33, of Parrish, gave a K-9 deputy, who had arrived on the scene, permission to search her car. That's when the deputy then found a glass pipe with burnt residue on one end, according to the arrest report.

Canfield then told the K-9 deputy to tell the other deputy that she wanted to give him something that she was holding, records show.

When the deputy asked if she had something for him, Canfield reportedly said "it's in here" while pointed to her vagina.

After being given a glove, Canfield then removed a full-length drinking straw from her vagina, which she said was used to inhale drugs, according to the report.

A deputy also found some Adderall and an Ambien in the jeep's center console, the affidavit stated.

Nottingham was busted for driving without a license (habitual); Canfield was charged with drug and drug paraplegia possession.

Guess some folks never learn that if you're a user, you'll always draw the short straw.
